| | A Response to Clay Shirky's “The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview” (Ftrain.com) |
 | | If you have an author named “John Smith,” you'll run into a problem: there is likely to be more than one author named John Smith. |
 | | Then, when you have another John Smith to add, you create a new record for him, and receive another number, and use that in the BOOK database. |
 | | If you search Citeseer for papers on RDF, the Semantic Web, and related technologies, you'll find a wide variety of prior art that addresses many of the issues he discusses, and you'll also find that the Semantic Web community is nowhere near as ignorant of the problems he describes as he suggests. |
